Office 2013 will work with Windows 7 and 8, and has redesigned backgrounds and screens. Also, it will no longer show a blank page at launch - instead, a landing screen will present templates and other options for creating and reopening a document.

The QI Macros consists of four parts: 1.) 46 charts and two “Chart Wizards” that use existing Excel data to create pareto, control charts, and histograms; 2.) more than 90 fill-in-the-blank templates for Lean Six Sigma; 3.) a Statistics Wizard; and 4.) data transformation tools, such as the PivotTable Wizard that automates data analysis.

Unlike complex statistical tools, the QI Macros tools can be used by anyone from students to Six Sigma Black Belts. Users most often say that the QI Macros is convenient and hassle free, is easy to learn, works directly on Excel data, and automates the most commonly used Lean Six Sigma improvement tools.

At only $199 (thousands less than competitors), QI Macros is the least expensive, most robust solution available on the market.To purchase a copy of QI Macros for Excel, visit: http://www.qimacros.com/store.
